The accused pled guilty to offences related to a marijuana grow operation, including theft of electricity and water.
The Crown sought a 2-3 year penitentiary sentence, while the defence sought a conditional sentence.
The court found that the accused had made full restitution, paid fines related to fire code violations, showed genuine remorse, and was not a danger to the community.
The court imposed a conditional sentence of 24 months less a day, including 240 hours of community service and house arrest, along with a DNA order, weapons prohibition, and forfeiture of grow equipment.
